[NSmodeler24]

[NorfolkWestern34]

[NSmodeler24]

.Yeah. The cabs and back radiator section is a little different, but thats about it.

[guilford681]

[NSmodeler24]

[willjayna]

Great job on the loco, what decals did you use for the project. I just bought the same tower 55 loco

[NSmodeler24]

I used shellscale decals. Thanks!
